Description
Cones are set up to form a figure 8. The drill can be performed with or without the ball. The objective is to catch your partner. The blue player's starting position is slightly further back than the red player. As a variation, more head start can be given to the red player. Players run one lap and then switch turns.
Coaching key points
Sharp changes of direction – Agility and body control around the cones. With the ball (if included) – Controlled dribbling without losing ball possession. Endurance and final sprint – Performing at full intensity until the end of the lap.
Progression
How do your footwork and running technique affect your performance? Did you give your all until the very end?
